He should be arriving soon!
I was able to talk to Norm a few times yesterday. He contacted me while he was in Paris, it was around 1:30am here. He said he hadn’t been able to sleep yet, but that he had finished his first book. He had an extra seat next to him! Praise the Lord. There had been [...]

Tomorrow morning, bright and early at 5am Deb will be taking me to the airport for my flight to Guinea! It sure came fast!

We are now in Canada and almost daily  we do something, see something or someone and I think back to August 4th when we left for Guinea. There were many things and people we thought we wouldn’t see for many years, but here we are! God has had different plans for us and we’ve had [...]
